Someday, some way

I put a comment in at yuletide 's Someday My Fic Will Come challenge (there's only three of us! It seems like there used to be lots of people who did this!), where if you've asked for a fandom for at least three times but never received it, you can leave your prompts to see if anyone will write it for you. Like, I know the odds of me ever getting The Adjustment Bureau fic are infinitesimally low, but it's one of those perfect challenges for people like me who cling to a few fandoms we ask for over and over. :-D

This has been the biggest problem for me and a few other people I know: the pool of things I'm interested in that qualify for Yuletide gets smaller and smaller every year, and so much of what is eligible doesn't interest me enough to be able to write a story or want to get one. (I wish more and more that ffnet wasn't part of this--I feel like if the challenge is on AO3, then that should be where the fic count lives. I know no one at this point who even goes to ffnet, and I keep wishing it would just fade away as part of the challenge. There are enticing fandoms that are still under 1k on AO3 if it were the sole eligibility site!) ANYhow, more people should comment on Someday My Fic Will Come so I have some more potential prompts to look for.

Yesterday a moving truck came and took all my new neighbor's stuff away. She hasn't even lived there for two years, and when she moved in, she started doing all this stuff with the front of the house, turning half of the front yard into a garden, building a front patio and pergola... And she was quiet and the same age as me, and it was really nice to finally be able to relax a little about the person who lived less than six feet from my bedroom window. So now I'm in this spiral of anxiety because I just do not know what will happen--I have had some unbelievably shitty or dangerous neighbors and that house just seems to be a revolving door--when I first moved in, it was being sublet by subletters (drug dealers) who then sublet it again (illegal grow operation), then when the landlord finally sold it, a nice young couple bought it. They lived there for quite a while, but since then, I've had like five neighbors within ten years, and I thought things had finally settled down. I don't know why she moved, she never said anything to me, though I know she'd been in treatment for breast cancer--I'd thought since she got both a puppy and a kitten fairly recently things were going well, but I don't know; I hope she's okay. If you know anyone nice who's looking for a cute lil house in Seattle, let me know!
